Student Affairs

Vision
The vision of the Office of Student Affairs is to nurture a contemplative approach to lifelong learning and holistic development among students.

Mission
The mission of the Office of Student Affairs is to lead in advocating for students at all levels of the university. In collaboration with other university departments, students and student groups, we are dedicated to providing services and programs that complement the academic experience and foster students’ physical, emotional, spiritual, social and intellectual health and well-being.

We promote student learning, personal development and engagement with diversity issues, career and individual decision making, contemplative practices and creation of opportunities for leadership and community/campus involvement. Student Affairs upholds the university’s mission of empowering students to develop the qualities of wisdom and compassion and the ability to engage in effective action.
